Diego Trujillo and Mind Wank are two artists who each work with artificial intelligence. They collaborated on the 2025 series Mortal Coil. Trujillo treats information as both concept and material, building electronic devices, code, and digital images that serve as interfaces for interpreting the world. Mind Wank, the pseudonym of a visual artist, generates eerie, darkly comic AI imagery and video exploring memory, fiction, and digital decay.
Born in Mexico City in 1986, Trujillo Pisanty has exhibited internationally in London, Paris, Mainz, Detroit, and Mexico City, at venues including the Science Gallery, the 404 Festival, and the Saint Etienne Design Biennale. He received an Honorable Mention from Prix Ars Electronica and the Young Creators fellowship from the Mexican Ministry of Culture on three occasions. In Blind Camera (2022), he trained an artificial neural network that could recognize only Mexico City, revealing how such systems are biased by the images on which they are trained. Images from the series were shown in the 2024 group exhibition “Post Photographic Perspectives III: Taming the Machine” on Daily.xyz.
